I've seen the pre-FC3 version do some really stupid things when you give it more than one drive for an auto-partition install - like putting /boot on one drive and nothing else, wasting the rest of the drive. FC3 combines them with LVM which seems OK. Also, when trying to make all partitions as RAID1 mirrors on 2 drives the pre-FC3 DD would always rearrange the layout in ways that didn't work unless I used fdisk to create the partitions first. FC3 seems to have a special case for this but I haven't tried it yet.
I always either do custom partitioning within DD or have auto have a hack at it and then modify it to my taste when it gives me the opportunity to do so. Sometimes it is fun to see what it suggests.
Personally, I avoid LVM and use real partitions.
